Importance of Reaching Non-Traditional Students
• Goal 5 of the 2015 Goals
• Widening Participation
• Increase Numbers of Home Students from Under-Represented Sections of Society
• The Creation of a Supportive Learning Environment

Combining the strengths of UMIST andThe Victoria University of Manchester
Importance of Introducing Minority Disciplines
• Disciplines not encountered in 14-19 Curriculum
• High Incompletion rates
• Lower Application numbers
• Increasing awareness:
– Reduce incompletion rates
– Increase application numbers
– Interest students who would not
otherwise have considered University

Combining the strengths of UMIST andThe Victoria University of Manchester
The Setting up the Workshop
• Desired Outcomes– Greater awareness of information biases
– Generate interest in University and Minority Disciplines
– Develop a reusable learning object
– Develop a template that can be applied to any collection
![Page 8: Values and worth: an EBL approach to encountering and constructing collections in real and virtual worlds](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051610/54832135b4af9f61548b46b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Combining the strengths of UMIST andThe Victoria University of Manchester
The Setting up the Workshop
• Outcomes for the Student• Objects are described in different ways by different
people
• Objects mean different things to different people
• Objects may be valued in different ways
• Other things apart from the object contribute to value like ‘context’
• ‘context’ such as where and how an object is displayed, or the source of information about the object
![Page 9: Values and worth: an EBL approach to encountering and constructing collections in real and virtual worlds](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051610/54832135b4af9f61548b46b5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Combining the strengths of UMIST andThe Victoria University of Manchester
The Setting up the Workshop
• University Skill Development• Interpretive skills as experts will give their
‘interpretations’ which are not right or wrong • ‘Information assessment’ decide which you agree
or disagree with and back up reasons for decisions• ‘constructing your argument’ attempt to
persuade others of to your viewpoint, by having a reasons and evidence
• When the ranking is compared with others a ‘scholarly debate’ about the objects can be initiated by the facilitator to reach a consensus

Combining the strengths of UMIST andThe Victoria University of Manchester
The Setting up the Collections
• 5 Objects were selected– Variety of Mediums/ Materials
– Different Ages
– Different Traditional values
• Questions and Activities were Developed
– Could relate to every object and no object in particular
– Questions and Activities were designed to question the students concepts of values and worth without asking directly
– Allow the student to receive as much or as little information about an object

The Real Workshop
• Level 1 Introduction– What do you Expect to find in a Museum/ Art Gallery?
– Who do you Expect to find in a Museum/ Art Gallery?
• Level 2 Presentation of 6 Objects– Rank the objects (no information provided)
• Level 3 Introduction of 6 Experts/ People– Select who you want to learn about an object from
• Level 4 Valuation– With new information re-rank the objects
– Did your ranking change? Why?
– What are some other types of Value?

The Curator
Would you like more information about this object or to select a different object?
This sketch was done by Walter Crane, an artist and illustrator working in the nineteenth century. The item has little monetary value, but is of real interest to me as a curator because I can see the notes written by the engraver and it shows a change of title. Both these things tell me about the way the artist had to work very quickly to meet the demands of the public and the publishing industry who loved his illustrations for books. It also reflects Walter Crane’s working practice and indicates not only his prolific output, but his need to earn a living via such commissions.

Infusing EBL into the GLO
Pros• User directed learning
• Collections interchangeable
• Feedback is generated for the user
Cons• Finite number of information
sources
• Finite number of information sources
